Dar Essid Museum

Dar Essid Museum
Tunis, Sousse
The Dar Essid Museum is located in the luxurious old house of the noble townsman Essid from the beginning of the 10th century.

The house has 11 rooms, including the bedrooms of two rich man's wives, and a high observatory tower, from which they once watched the stars. The interiors, decorated with mosaics, ceramics and marble, have been completely restored in the museum, utensils and clothes of past centuries have been collected. Among the notable exhibits of the museum are a 700-year-old marriage contract, antique cashmere curtains and a luxurious ancient Roman urinal. There are explanations in Russian. Tourists can touch all the exhibits, sit on the ancient bench, and then climb the spiral staircase to the 65-meter tower and view the panorama of the surroundings. There is a small cafe at the top of the tower.
